Description

Associatively distributes entity copies evenly in a circular pattern about a center point or axis of rotation, using multiple rows and levels.

Options

ASsociative
Determines whether an array entity is created or a series of copies of the selected entities.
Note: The default setting is saved by the ARRAYASSOCIATIVITY system variable.
Note: Parameters for associative arrays can be specified with parametric expressions set in the Array properties, found in Mechanical browser, Properties panel or through the ARRAYEDIT command.
Base point
Sets the base point of the array. Items are placed relative to the base point.
Items
Specifies the number of items in the array.
Angle between
Specifies the angle between two subsequent items.
Expression
A mathematical formula or equation can be used to derive the value.
Fill angle
Specifies the angle between the first and last item.
ROWs
Specifies the number of rows, the spacing between subsequent rows and the incremental elevation.
Distance
Specifies the distance between subsequent rows.
Total
Specifies the distance between the first and the last row.
Incremental elevation between rows
Specifies the increasing or decreasing elevation for each subsequent row.
Levels
Creates 3D arrays by specifying the number and spacing of levels.
Distance
Specifies the distance between subsequent levels by typing a value or picking two points.
Total
Specifies the distance between the bottom and the top level.
ROTate
Determines whether items are rotated around the circular path or they preserve the orientation of the source entities.
eXit
Accept the current settings and conclude the command.
